Rob Ford, shockingly, isn't particularly concerned about brain injuries in hockey — or any other sport.

"It's ridiculous. If you play a sport, you've gotta know you might get banged up. When I coach kids (in football), I say 'guys, you've got to hit or be hit,' the disgraced Toronto mayor told The Sports Junkies on Washington D.C.'s 106.7 FM. "Concussions are bad, but they've been around for years and years and years. So I think you just strap the gear and hit the guy as hard as you can."

Watch This

Ford, stripped of most of his power last month after he admitted smoking crack and driving drunk, was on the show picking football games (of course) against the spread. He talked other sports, too. He's addicted to sports. He's a real football-a-holic.

On the Washington Redskins' nickname controversy: "Why don't we look at the Cleveland Indians ... (will we) call them the Cleveland Aboriginals? ... Where do we go with this? It's been around for years and years and years."

On the legendary .GIF of him taking a snap and falling down: "I'm not a quarterback! I was a center. I could snap out of the shotgun or the pistol, as they called it."

On Auburn's win over Alabama on a last-second missed field goal return: "When he hit the 40, I knew he was gone. That was the best game I've ever seen."

On a fan's claim that Ford took his seat at last week's Buffalo Bills game: "It's where the NFL told me to sit and they matched my tickets. I'd like to see that guy's tickets."

He also made a sexist comment, with an assist from the Junkies, about women winning football pools. This happens because they pick the team with the cuter players, Ford said. OK.

The show ended with Ford promising to come on every week and pick games against the hosts. The prize? Chicken wings. Naturally.
